Wine Decanter

Wine accessory like wine decanter may be considered optional for wine lovers who doesn't have the habit of decanting their wine. However, it is essential when coming to old wines which are more likely to accumulate sediment in the process of aging (not all old wine accumulate sediment). You certainly wouldn't want the sediment to mix with your wine as it usually give a bitter taste. 

What is wine decanter

Wine decanter is none other than a piece of very nicely cut glass. Wine decanter is used not just to impress your guest or friends but is also essential for the sediment which accumulate in some aged wine to settle before serving. For the purpose of decanting wine, practically any glass container can be used can be used so long as they are clean and odorless. Having said that, personally decanting a bottle of aged vintage wine in a "typical glass jug or container" just doesn't feel right... 

Wine decanting 

During wine decanting... 

Proper lightings is essential during wine decanting. This is especially true at the neck of the wine decanter so that you can see the sediment when it is close to the neck of decanter. Make sure that you stop when the sediment is close to being poured. Place the wine decanter back onto the table and allow the wine sediment to settle before the next pour.

In the process of wine decanting, the wine is also allowed to breathe. A plus point certainly for the "breather"...
